In the beginning:… Some 225 million year ago, the earth had
one main chunk of land (Pangaea) which later drifted apart.
How do we know?- Science has found nearly identical species of animals thousands of miles away from one another
The current geographical shape was anchored in the NE by the CANADIAN SHEILD- massive rock that most likely was the first land to emerge from the sea in North America

It’s Cold In Here: During the last ice age, glaciers extended
well into what would become the US The melting, retreating glaciers helped to fill
such land features as the Great Lakes and helped to flatten much of the North (Indiana)
Due to lower water levels, it is believed that the first humans to come to NA followed big game across the land bridge- BERINGIA which connected Eurasia and NA.

Great American Civilizations When waters rose, the inhabitants were
on their own By the time Columbus sailed, there were
an estimated 54 million people in the Americas which established as many as 2000 separate languages and tribes
The INCAS, MAYANS, and AZTECS established “advanced” civilizations in what is today Mexico and South America

Good Ole’ Corn on the Cob Once the early civilizations were able to
domesticate crops (mainly MAIZE- Indian Corn), hunter and gathers began to settle which allowed for advancement
The PUEBLO developed irrigation systems to carve a life out of the arid Southwest
Corn’s expansion took time and as a result no NATION-STATES (small nations) comparable to the Aztecs and Incas developed outside of Mexico by the time the Europeans came

Closer to Home Mound Builders of the Ohio River Valley,
Mississippian culture, and the Anasazi did develop large settlements
CAHOKIA, near modern day St. Louis, MO, was the largest in what will become the U.S. with as many people as 25,000
The Anasazi developed Chaco Canyon with more than 600 integrated rooms
All of these cultures, probably because of drought, declined by 1300 C.E.

Three Sisters Farming Advancement in farming, such as
THREE SISTERS FARMING (with the blending of farm lands and better moisture management) larger civilizations developed in the Southeast- Creek, Choctaw, and Cherokee

Iroquois Located in the northeastern woodlands Closest thing to a Aztec / Inca like civilization The leader HIAWATHA helped to create the
IROQUOIUS CONFEDERACY The LEAGUE OF THE IROQUOIS (“whites’” name) were
the main power in the northeast and menaced their neighbors- both Native and Europeans
FIVE NATIONS OF IROQUOIS- Mohawks, Oneidas, Onodagas, Cayu, and Senecas
Although they worked with each other, they were still “independent”
Through out colonization, they aligned with the French against the English and the English against the French (They were playing the sides against each other)
When the American Revolution broke out, the Iroquois Confederacy could not decided as a whole to support so each tribe made their own decision Most sided with the British When the British lost, the Confederacy was in left in tatters
and was split

Indirect Discovers of the “New World”
The Norse Men came upon the north-eastern should of NA in 1000 C.E. Eric the Red was a Viking that started a
settlement in Greenland Leif Ericson, (a son of Eric the Red) thought to
be first European in North America The Crusades- Knights of Europe repeatedly
attempted to gain control of the Holy Lands- most often they failed but the desire to get Asia goods will later lead them to sail this way
MARCO POLO’s account of Asia help fuel the fire for these exotic items

Africa First to Go By 1450, the Portuguese (the leaders of
marine exploration) developed the CARAVEL (a ship that could sail better into strong, Northerly wind) which opened the West African coast
Slavery was already used between Arabs and Africans before Europe got involved The Portuguese built their own systematic
traffic of slaves to work sugar plantations In the last 1/2 of the 15th century- some 40,000
slaves were taken

The Indies Portugal kept pushing down the “dark
continent” 1498, Vasco da Gama finally reached
India

The Perfect Storm The “perfect storm”- The Renaissance
(Rebirth) in the 14th century spawned an “ambitious spirit of optimism and adventure”, and the Printing Press (GUTENBERG) helped to expand scientific knowledge, the taking of Africa meant needed to look elsewhere
Improvements in mapmaking, navigation, and new ships allowed them to be able travel further distances
The compass helped to keep ships on track

Spain: Ferdinand and Isabella Monarchs of Spain Christopher Columbus (Italian) convinced F &
I to give him $$ to sail An all water route to the West Indies
was preferable to the treacherous all-land route (tough terrain and high taxes, etc.)
Despite near mutiny, he arrived in the Bahamas on October 12, 1492
Epic Fail?- His real goal was to find an all water route to the Indies
He thought he was there- hence- Indians

European World Strongly influenced by the Catholic Church
(Later the Church of England will have influence)
Feudalism (during middle ages): People worked the land in exchange for services and protection – Kept people tied to the land
Nation-states begin to form controlled by monarchs (kings and queens)
Experimentation during Renaissance, Humanism (focused on the needs, desires, and wants of people)

European Culture Continued Protestant Churches- Different Christian
sects began to form Wanted to spread CHRISTIANITY, find
markets and raw RESOURCES, and valued EXPLORATION: GOD, GOLD, and GLORY

Treaty of Tordesillas Many times, both Spain and Portugal claimed
the same areas of land Pope Alexander gave an order- he drew an
imaginary line and the land west of the line were Spain's and the lands east were Portugal
Later this line was extended to the west and became known as the Treaty of Treaty of TordesillasTordesillas
So what?- Explains why Brazil speaks Portuguese and the majority of SA speaks Spanish

The Slave Trade Europeans attempted to enslave Native
Americans but that did not work well? Why? Europeans started to depend on African slaves
to fill the need By the 1600s, the trading of slaves was the
chief focus of European relations with Africa Portion between Africa and the Americas
was known as the Middle Passage Trade between Europe, Africa, and the
Americas was known as the Triangular Trade

Mercantilism Economic and political changes linked
overseas expansion to a new economic theory Mercantilism stated that a country’s
government should do all it could to increase the country’s wealth, which was measured by the amount of bullion (gold and silver) they had.
To get wealth, one had to take from other countries
CAPITALISM- Was also established due to the increase in the silver supply as a result of the explorations

Commercial Revolution The changes in ways of doing business
led to the “Commercial Revolution” During this time period, individuals
would join together to form “joint-stock companies”- people would buy shares and become owners in the hopes of finding similar success (England)- Jamestown

Spread of the Spanish Due to stories of Coronado’s exploits, the Spanish crept
north Battle of Acoma- the Spanish conquered and abused (cut
one foot off)a large number of Pueblo and established the area as a province of New Mexico and made the capital Santa Fe’ in 1610
The Spanish found little in the way of gold or furs, so they attempted to convert the Natives to Christianity (often times violently) This led to Pope’s Rebellion in 1680 The Pueblo destroyed every Catholic Church and killed
preists and hundreds of Spanish settlers Would take around 50 years before Spain regain control

Mestizos The Spanish brought their customs,
laws, and culture to Mexico and the American Southwest
They intermarried with the surviving Indians and the result was the MESTIZOS- people with mixed Indian and European heritage and blood

GOD, GOLD, & GLORY Remember the easy way to summarize
the desires of the Spanish’s exploration (and later other countries)is GOD, GOLD, and GLORY
